Applications are currently being accepted for the 2020 ASPPH/CDC Public Health Fellowship Program; the deadline to apply is Monday, January 27, 2020.
The ASPPH/CDC Public Health Fellowship Program offers opportunities for early-career public health professionals by enabling them to train at CDC on a variety of high-priority public health issues. ASPPH/CDC Public Health Fellows work closely with nationally recognized experts within the nation’s premier health promotion, prevention, and preparedness agency and global leader in public health.
ASPPH/CDC Fellow, Ms. Katelyn Sives, (who holds a University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health MPH) states, “As an ASPPH fellow in CDC’s Office of Policy, Evaluation and Legislation, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), my role is to handle incoming global requests from the Center for Global Health and collaborate with policy directors to conduct policy reviews on briefs and reports to Congress. I have had the opportunity to coordinate high-level meetings with international visitors to the CDC, including delegates from Israel CDC and the Office of Population Affairs.” She goes on to say, “The ASPPH/CDC Fellowship Program provides an exceptional opportunity to receive post-graduate training in public health and enables fellows to receive mentorship from outstanding public health leaders who encourage fellows to ‘jump in’ and take the reins on their public health career. Being an ASPPH Fellow has strengthened my interest in the role of health policy in addressing critical gaps in public health prevention and care for chronic diseases. Thanks, ASPPH!”
Fellowship assignments will be based at CDC offices in Atlanta, GA as well as offices in Morgantown WV and Spokane, WA. The fellowship positions are full-time training opportunities for one year beginning in July 2020. Detailed program information can be accessed on the ASPPH website; applications may be submitted through the ASPPH online application system.

OHIP: Summer Internship Opportunity Workplace Safety & Health Issues
Internship Dates: June 15 - August 14, 2020
Deadline to Apply: Friday, February 14, 2020 (Applicants
Notified by late March)
Organization Description: The Occupational Health
Internship Program (OHIP) is a national summer program dedicated to help
students learn about the field of occupational safety and health (OSH) from
those most at stake: working people. Since 2004, OHIP has played a key role in
training, mentoring, and inspiring a new generation of OSH professionals to
prevent job injury and disease through partnerships with worker and
community-based organizations. A project of the Association of Occupational and
Environmental Clinics (AOEC), OHIP has training sites across the country
including: the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, DC, and
New York City. Visit www.OHIPintern.org
<http://www.OHIPintern.org> for new 2020 sites.
A sample of our 2019 projects included a hazard
assessment of the Las Vegas casino hotel industry, an investigation of sexual
harassment and workplace violence in Los Angeles cannabis dispensaries, an
assessment of job hazards and pain reported by women housekeepers in the
Philadelphia hotel industry, and an investigation of violence and assaults on
transit workers in Hartford, CT.
Position Description
Teams of two students are placed with a union or worker
organization to investigate job-related health and safety problems among
workers, often employed in an under-served or a high hazard job. Projects are
designed to maximize interaction between workers and students. OHIP is an
applied research experience, where students learn about the OSH field from the
workers' perspective. Project work emphasizes worker interviews and worksite
evaluations. At the end of the project, teams provide a "give back"
product to the workers and their host union/worker organization, present their
project at a national NIOSH web-conference, and produce a final report.
Commitment is full-time, including possible evenings or weekends.
Qualifications
- Graduate and
undergraduate students can apply; some stipends are restricted to US
citizens.
- Non-US
citizens must supply documentation of permission to work in the US.
- Undergraduates
must have completed two years, preferably in a field related to public
health, environmental studies, or public policy. Graduate students in
public health, medicine, nursing, or a related field are encouraged to
apply.
- Recent
graduates cannot be out of school for more than six months prior to the
start of OHIP (i.e. students are not eligible if they graduated prior to
December of 2019).
- Looking for
students with experience or interest in working with unions or social
justice organizations, are organized and self-starting, have good team
skills and ideally speak a second language such as Spanish, Tagalog,
Vietnamese, etc.
- Underrepresented
minority students encouraged to apply.
